Well, quite a non-productive but busy weekend. Had a BBQ at Derf VW‘s place, which was very cool. I picked up some car cleaning tips (I typed “cat cleaning tips” for a second there…. I don’t think they’d appreciate the wax though) and a very cool TDIClub.com – fahrfrumpumpen mug (out of which tea is being drank as I type!. On sunday, after picking up the suggested cleaning stuff we went out to metrotown to have a lunch with Sillz, Squiz, and another Ozzie visiting on her way to .uk. Red Robin sucked again for Firefly, giving her raw meat in her burger (mmm… meat…). Other than that I did nothing.
Started on a new “2.0” project for a daemon that I wrote for work for the boss this weekend. Not a huge amount of progress, but I got it branched out in CVS, and have documented what it’s supposed to do and how, now it’s just a matter of making it do it. The question is do I do it “properly” and re-write the code from the ground up, or do I write it so that it does what is needed by him now, and get it working fast so that the various things that are depending on this can be done sooner rather than later, and then worry about writing it properly later?
My cats are stoned. Borrowed some catnip from Iambe and got the cats all drugged up… they are stoned right now, and fighting. I guess just like when people get drunk and let their true feelings out, cats stop being polite to each other when they are on “the ‘nip”. Or it could be like kitty LSD, and Rex is just running after Corny saying “dude, there’s this huge yellow bug crawling on your face, lemme <smack> hit it off man!” and Corny is running around screaming “the walls are melting, the walls are melting!” I just hope they don’t continue when I go to bed!
You know, using dlopen(3) [archive.org link] might be the solution. Just set up an API and use that for plugins… that’ll allow a lot more flexabilty for user space stuff, and the 2.0 project wouldn’t be restricted to a closed set of functions. I’ll have to think on this….
Note to self: Here is a good example of what is needed.
